BIM BIM BIM - composite skins are so un-bim!

I know I post this every 6 months, but I am really trying to make a point.

I am sure this is a difficult challenge, but we really need to be able to place a autotext label on a single skin of a composite wall in plan and sections so that we can:

1)  call out exactly the building material is for a "single" selected skin of the composite

2)  be able to drill down with autotext to custom building material properties for the selected skin.

Hi,

 

I think I wanted to use the material ID as well when I started working on the label, but kept having trouble with it.

 

I just read this:

 

https://community.Graphisoft.com/t5/Design-forum/How-to-use-GDL-to-get-building-material-ID/m-p/2317...

 

which makes me think I could take another crack at it.

 

I have a dead line at the moment thought, so wont be able to get to it for a week or so.

Learn and get certified!
